Pretrimming clips using the Source view

In the Tour, you added clips to a project by dragging them individually from the Project window into the Timeline. Earlier in this lesson, you added clips to the Timeline from a sequence and from a bin in the Project window using the Automate to Sequence command. In one case, you trimmed a clip after it was added to the Timeline.

Alternatively, you can pretrim clips in the Source view of the Monitor window before you add them to the Timeline. (Remember that clips are actually in a video program and will play back only if they are in the Timeline.)
